Water Proofing & Efflorecence BarriersFlexible Membrane Waterproof Tape, Self Stick Waterproof Tape, Internal & External Semi-Ridgid Waterproofing Profiles
There are 2 basic common forms of water proofing.......
1) Paint on membrane for waterproofing (liquid waterproofing barrier)
2) Sheet membrane for waterproofing
The solution is to insulate the substrate from the applied surface material. This prevents water penetrating through to the underlying surface. If an effective water barrier is used, seepage is eliminated which allows for pooled water to go no further than the sealing membrane. By forming an efferctive water barrier, this allows for evaporation rather than unacceptable seepage.

Efflorescence is a plague......
Almost any building you see today that has not had the correct preparation for efflorescence seepage, dispays ugly white run marks and scars if the direct under surface comprises of a form of mortar which could have ingredients of sand, salt and lime. This unsightly effect is most visable on building facades, stairways and in bathrooms....most efflorescence issues are most previlant where the surface is exposed to to water such as rain or in wet areas such as swimming pool areas.
This can be almost completely eliminated if a pre glue (adhesive) barrier mat or barrier sheet had been applied.
